Abstract (en)

A compact apparatus, such as a portable telephone set, has first and second rotary dials for selecting information items such as characters to be inputted into a text, or for moving a cursor on a display screen. Each dial is provided with a click mechanism. <??>In accordance with rotational directions and rotational amounts of the dials, a control section of the apparatus selects a desired coordinate location in a table of information items stored in a memory, and enters the information item in the selected location into a buffer memory in response to a clicking operation on the first dial. A further clicking operation on the dial initiates a information conversion mode such as a Japanese kanakanji conversion mode. In this mode, the control section searches a dictionary for one or more information items corresponding to the item in the buffer memory, and displays the corresponding information items one after another on a display screen. The control section enters an item into the text in response to a clicking operation on the second dial. <IMAGE>
